English Vocabulary Sentence Completion

Hi Emine, let's solve this vocabulary question together.

First, let's look at the sentence: Rock climbing is exciting but blank. You should have the safety equipment to protect yourself.

The word but connects two contrasting ideas. Since exciting is a positive quality, the missing word should likely reflect a risk or a negative aspect that explains why we need safety equipment.

Now, let's evaluate the options. Option A is fascinating, which means very interesting. This is a positive word and doesn't provide a contrast with exciting.

Option B is dangerous. This means there is a chance of harm. This fits perfectly because if something is dangerous, you need equipment to protect yourself.
